Fuzzboy

NZ$299.00

FREE SHIPPING WITHIN NZ.

Our best selling pedal. Fuzzboys are in 20+ countries around the world.

In 2019 we released the Fuzzboy v1 in the black box with the spaceman on the front.

After listening to player feedback we’ve got more of the good stuff on tap in a perfectly sized, rugged, fuzzy package that covers all manner of fuzz from vintage-flavoured tweedy fuzz to super-scooped sludge to gated velcro sputters and back again.

V3 includes:

- better power filtering for quieter operation

- internal trimpot for set and forget LED brightness

- hand-matched transistors

- a starve control that's optimised for all pickups

- 3 MIDS settings: FLAT mids, mid-HUMP, and SCOOP settings

- 3 MASS settings for 3 distinct tonal palettes of fuzz from vintage overdrive to modern huge walls of sound.

- a dedicated fuzz control rather than relying on the guitar's volume control

- Rugged metal enclosure w/ top mounted jacks

- True bypass switching.

- PINK LED!

- Your choice of black, white, or red toggle covers (just lemme know)

It's a cool thing, folks.

Made here in Auckland. 2 year RTB warranty.

Facts:

125B enclosure with top mounted jacks.
9VDC centre negative power only. No battery capability because they just end up in landfills :(
True bypass
100% analog
Unique circuit

Please note that Monarch Pedals are built to order and if not in stock will require a lead time of ~ 3 weeks.

Emissary Overdrive

Emissary Overdrive

Emissary Overdrive

NZ$299.00

Based on a certain classic green pedal with a rather conspicuous mid hump except updated, revamped, reworked, reenergised and redesigned for today’s demanding musicians who live on the road - meaning more versatility, more tonal options, true bypass wiring, useful and intuitive controls, a 3 way COMP switch for a selection of different feels, top mounted jacks, solid metal rugged enclosure and parts chosen to last tour after tour after tour. All backed up by our RTB warranty.

This is one of my favourite circuit designs and the pedal which I think represents where Monarch Pedals is at these days, cramming all we’ve learned over years of playing, touring, listening to customer feedback - hence the Emissary name.

Controls:

DRIVE - Controls the amount of gain is present, from a clean boost to a medium distortion.

VOLUME - controls the overall output volume. How loud do you want it?

TONE - Boosts the mids and upper mids. The more you turn, the more you get. This is great for cutting through the mix or adding some vintage rock n roll sound to your tone.

COMP - This is a 3 way switch with UP/MIDDLE/DOWN soft clipping options in the feedback loop of the primary gain stage, each one delivering a unique sound. UP = symmetrical silicon diodes just like a stock TS, MIDDLE = no clipping at all for a much bigger, fuller, uncompressed sound (very loud!), DOWN = Symmetrical ‘Marshall’ style clipping for some fun upper-mid growl and quicker attack.

AIR- Adds presence and clarity to your tone. Want to stand out in the mix? Turn this up. Want to blend in and warm things up a little? Dial it back.

CUT- You know how a Tubescreamer or SD1 is a great boost because it both cuts flubby bass and also boosts the mids? With our CUT control you can select how much bass is cut, or isn’t. It’ll go from very full and almost fuzzy to a thinner more aggressive and cutting tone. This is amazingly useful when boosting a dirty amp!

TRUE FACTS:

Handmade in NZ.

True Bypass.

Rugged enclosure.

Top mounted jacks.

Lifetime RTB warranty.

DC power supply only (9-18v).

FYI:

COMP up, AIR and CUT around halfway, with TONE to suit is more or less a stock TS sound. Expand out from there :)

The Third Eye

The Third Eye

NZ$299.00

FREE SHIPPING WITHIN NZ. 2 Year RTB warranty.

The psychedelic fuzzbeast returns.

V1 travelled the world, road-tested and gig-worn by players chasing something beyond cookie-cutter clones.

V2 takes everything they loved – and makes it even better.

MODE switch toggles between modern silicon and vintage germanium, using rare NOS D18 diodes from 1968 (a close cousin to the Klon’s original D9E).

At its core, the unique circuit remains – a vintage-voiced drive that straddles classic overdrive and brash ‘60s fuzz. It cleans up beautifully with your volume knob and reacts to picking dynamics like nothing else out there. Go from clean to dirty by literally just strumming harder.

Hand-built in New Zealand. Built to last. 100% original. Backed with a 2-year warranty.

If you loved the first Third Eye, you’ll lose yourself in V2.

Vintage germanium warmth, using rare D18 diodes – close cousins of the legendary D9Es found in the original Klon circuits.
Modern silicon bite, sharper and more aggressive when you want it to cut through.

FACTS:

Ultraviolet LED.
Top mounted jacks in a 125b enclosure.
True bypass operation.
All analog circuit handwired in New Zealand.
Borders the lines of chewy overdrive and vintage fuzz.
MODE switch selects between modern silicon and vintage Ge clipping.
9v DC PSU only. NO battery capability exists because they suck and they end up in landfills :(

Sundog - The setlist in a box

NZ$299.00

The flagship drive and distortion unit of Monarch Pedals.

With a 3 band active tonestack, unique DRIVE control that manipulates 2 gain circuits at once, and the all-new and unique FEEL control that takes you from mild to wild the SUNDOG is ready for whatever setlist you need to get through, night after night, tour after tour. Just about any sound you can conjure up is in there somewhere - from ultra-scooped metal destruction, to 70s rock edge of breakup to singing liquid leads like John Petrucci, or what about hollow stratty goodness? It’s in there somewhere, that’s why we call the SUNDOG the setlist in a box.

The FEEL control is all new to the Sundog and allows you to subtly change the texture of your sound. At lowest settings the pedal is quieter with just a smidge of fraying distorion around the edges of your playing with a warm and vintage rounded character on single note lines. The more you increase the louder, the more powerful, heavier, and fuller the sound. There’s nothing else like this out there.

As always, Monarch Pedals are designed and handwired here in Auckland, NZ. They all come with a RTB guarantee and ship for free within NZ.

FACTS:

9v centre negative PSU only. We don’t use batteries. They only end up in landfills.
True bypass wiring
Orange LED
125b enclosure with top mounted jacks

Pedal problems? We can help.

If your effects pedal is noisy, glitchy, or just not sounding like it used to, we offer repairs to get it back in top form. Whether it's a dodgy footswitch, tone loss, weird behaviour, or no sound at all, we can take a look and in most cases get it back to you in A+ condition.

We’ve fixed pedals from all the major brands – Boss, EHX, Dunlop, Ibanez, Maxon and more – as long as they’re built with through-hole components (see below for a handy visual reference).

If your pedal's not playing nice, get in touch, and just let us know what the pedal is, a little about what’s wrong, and we’ll get back to you. And remember:

No fix, no fee

Thru Hole: We can fix this

SMD: We cannot fix this
